9 Best Aesop Products 2024, From Skin Care to Shaving Essentials

One of the brand’s newer products, the Gentle Facial Cleansing Milk is an emulsion of water and oils that, when combined, help to gentle remove grease and dirt from the skin without overly stripping the face of its natural oils. It’s non-foaming, which might be shocking for those who expect something that lathers up like their favorite shampoo, but that just means your pores are clean without that tight feeling you might get from a cleanser you’ve used in the past.

For something a little heavier duty for cleaning your face, the rose-scented Purifying Facial Cleanser utilizes clay to help suck up deeply embedded gunk from your pores so that they can be washed away. Despite how rough that may sound, the cleanser is surprisingly gentle so you don’t feel like your face has been completely stripped of moisture afterwards.

Anyone with sensitive or reactive skin knows how hard it can be to find the right products to incorporate into their routines. The Seeking Silence moisturizer from Aesop is meant to help those who have easily irritated skin. One of the main ingredientsis squalene, which is beloved for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects for soothing and calming the skin.

While not exactly a moisturizer, Aesop’s popular B & Tea Balancing Toner acts as the final cleanse post-face wash, while adding a touch of hydration before you slather on your regular moisturizer. The alcohol-free formulation fortifies the skin with antioxidants, balancing the skin’s pH levels after cleansing, and getting it ready to absorb your moisturizer more effectively.

Aesop’s most famous and popular product is likely its hand wash, available in a number of highly desirable scents. The gel-based cleanser leaves hands feeling clean without being overly dry, and few products on the bathroom skin elicit as many oohs and aahs as this bougie hand wash.

To complement the hand washes, Aesop released an array of hand balms in the same scents as its hand washes. These richly moisturizing balms are great for dry hands, and can be slathered anywhere else on your body that needs a little extra love.

Instead of a shaving cream, try a shaving serum. This one from Aesop doesn’t get you that cloud-like lather you’d expect from your $2 can, but it does prep the skin for your razor to slide across your face like an ice skate with minimal irritation and maximum hair sheathing.

Now that your face is a little raw from the shave, apply Aesop’s Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave lotion to relax the skin and reintroduce the moisture that it’s lost. Even if you’re not shaving that day, the post-shave lotion works as a great daily moisturizer that’s lightweight enough for oily skin but heavy enough for dry skin.
